A few profiles using real names are shown below. We feel uncomforable publishing these stories of struggling families, but these few have given their consent in order that donors can get a realistic feel of conditions faced by this community. Many of these parents have suffered greatly. A decent school education was out of grasp for most of them. But today they are dazzled by their children coming home loaded with knowledge, self-confidence and optimism.
